A SEASON OF GIVING AND GRATITUDE

Harbor Hills Country Club invites you to celebrate the arrival of 2026 in style! Join us for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve evening filled with elegance, music, and camaraderie. The festivities start at 7 P.M. with hors d’oeuvres, followed by an extravagant dinner in the ballroom at 8 P.M. The timeless tunes of Sheila & The Sound Band will bring back those favorite hits and more than a few precious memories.

Tickets are $125 for members and $140 for non-members, and the event is open to the public. Formal attire is suggested to make the evening truly special. For non-refundable tickets, call 352-753-7000.

The holiday spirit shines brightly at Harbor Hills. This year, our community came together to support deployed U.S. military personnel through the Treat The Troops drive, setting a new record! In just 50 minutes, volunteers packed 141 boxes with 13,536 homemade cookies, reminding our troops they are never forgotten.

Thanks to Rosann Cochran, the “cookie ladies,” and all the volunteers who baked, packed, wrote notes, donated, and provided freezer space. We also thank the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 347 for their generous $1,000 donation, and the 300 dedicated individuals from Harbor Hills, The Villages, and Loves Landing who made this effort possible.

Take this special time to reflect on the roles we cherish – parents, grandparents, friends, and partners. Reach out to others in need of kindness. Wishing all my readers a joyful holiday season and a New Year filled with peace, good health, and purpose. May the true meaning of the season fill your heart and home.
